i made a cute sailor dress this weekend using a striped ecru / yellow cotton jersey that has been sitting on my shelf for a while. i didn't have a pattern to work from - but i wish i had the one above for the playsuit!
i had an idea of the shape i wanted, so created a pretty basic paper pattern using newspaper.
i wanted to make the most of the stripes and create a chevron pattern on the front skirt, but i only had just over a metre of jersey so it was abit of a squeeze - its a real hotchpotch but turned out sweet!
i ended up with a simple pull on sleeveless jersey frock, with a crisp sailor-style collar made from a yellow dotty vintage cotton. phew.
i dont think it is totally finished as i'm thinking of adding some topstitching to the collar, and maybe a little bow or some buttons...
